Constructive criticism appreciated. Note: these are done in MS paint so it isn't going to be 300-600 dpi

I did these little buggers to mock my friends because all they would do for a period of time was sit in the dark, listen to bright eyes, and cry.

And this is the only non MS Paint picture I liked enough to post, this a tattoo design I did for Amanda. (See emobear above)

i like the tattoo.  and phred.
images far far far too small.

that is all!

[surreality]

the images are too smal because photobucket resizes them, it is all that is evil in the world, anyone got any reccomendations for a good hosting service that doesn't rape your pictures with a spork then give them back to you bleeding, crying and tiny?

[redglasscurls]

Try saving them in your own computer as jpg files rather than bmp. They take up less space and photobucket won't resize them so much.

For ALMOST PERFECT and FREE imagehosting i recomend http://www.imageshack.us

Your images are great for MS Paint and really well done - if you want a free image tool that isnt MS Paint try the GIMP though - its brilliant

thanks for the tip and the compliment, and the only reason i dont use GIM or adobe illustartor is because if i do a good job in paint i get to hear people say "wow you made that in paint?!"

Or have them mock you for using such an outdated program. But still, if you do, do a really fantastic job, then I suppose it would be a surprise for anti-paint people.

paint is a great tool, if you do a good job in it that is. and if you can, well its amazing in a sense like a dj using an old record player and speakers form the 70's to do an entire set. It comes out surprising as hell. and when people cant even use MS Paint, much less illustrator or GIMP, then it's even more amazing to them

I used to do a lot of drawing in paint myself a while back, and the whole "wow you did THAT with paint??" reaction is always heart-warming. However, what I found when I veered towards the world of photoshop, gimp and other more advanced graphics editors, I found that what I could do was suddenly very limited. Not limited by my talent, since I could do "amaising" things with just MS paint, but by my set of skills with digital tools.

Bitmap is all but dead as a format for pictures, the files are incredibly large, and alltogether it's slowly getting phased out of use... People will say htings like "wow that's amaising... for paint" about our art, but not many will take it seriously, I'm afraid...

(bu the way I gave up on drawing with GIMP after a while, didn't have the cash for a tablet, and ended up going to more traditional things involving paper and pencils.. )

Don't forget you can go to your account options on Photobucket and just tell it to allow bigger pictures. I'd recommend using Photoshop for your art and your image compression.

I've said this many times before, and I'll say it again: you can draw anything in Paint that you do in Photoshop. The only difference is that it takes longer.

There seem to be a lot of people out there that don't understand this.

[Justin]

i guess that's technically true, but if you wanted to create fancy glow lighting effects wouldn't that take unreasonably long?

Yeah, but at some point it's kind of like, I don't know...masturbating with sandpaper.  The farther you try to go, the more impossibly difficult it becomes.

Creating something as rudimentary and important as a gradient is very difficult to do in Paint.  Paint is good for putting captions on pictures of owls and things like that.  If you have no money, use GIMP instead.  It's much better.

To the threadstarter: I suggest using Flickr as an image host.  It resizes your pictures sometimes, but it gives you different size options and stuff.  Plus, you can download nifty uploader tools from the site.  If you have a lot of big, hi-res artwork, just get a DeviantArt account or something like that.  DA doesn't resize your artwork at all, but it's bad for simple image hosting.

[Luke]

I never say that Paint is a program superior to anything else. Essentially my point is that a JPEG is a JPEG, and both Paint work and Photoshop work can be saved as JPEGs.

And yes, gradients and light effects can be a bit of a bitch to do in Paint. I've done both of them before - all you need to be able to do is figure out a bit of math with the RGB values.

[Ghostwriter]

Right, that is true.  But I would still say that Paint is pretty useless considering the other (free) options.
